This lokshen kugel is something special! Between the different flavors of the two layers, and the crunch of the topping, you won’t be sorry that you took the time to make this! Although you may use more pots and mixing bowls than you’d use for a basic kugel, the end result is a beautiful and tasty kugel that will be a huge hit!

are the noodles supposed to be added raw to the dark tone? because it says cooked, yet then it says to add water and cook?
Yes, that is correct, you add them in already cooked. That’s a method specifically for yerushalmi kugel, the second “cooking” is more of a caramelizing process. You can read all about the process here https://mishpacha.com/yerushalmi-kugel/
